Tom Homan has accused the FBI of leaking sensitive information about planned immigration raids. The DOJ and DHS have launched investigations into these leaks, which are believed to originate from within the FBI. What are the potential consequences for the identified leaker?
FBI Accused of Compromising ICE Operations
Tom Homan, the former director of ICE, has leveled serious accusations against the FBI, claiming that the bureau is responsible for leaking information about planned immigration raids. These leaks have allegedly allowed criminal elements, including members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, to evade capture by ICE agents.
Homan emphasized the grave consequences of these leaks, stating, “Some of the information we are receiving tends to lead toward the FBI.” He further stressed that these leaks not only give criminals a chance to escape but also pose a significant risk to officers’ safety.

Future of Immigration Enforcement at Stake
The impact of these leaks on future immigration enforcement efforts remains uncertain. Homan has indicated that ICE plans to increase manpower for raids in sanctuary cities, which are now a priority due to perceived threats to public safety and national security.
However, the success of these operations hinges on maintaining operational secrecy. Homan warned, “You’re putting officers’ lives at risk,” emphasizing the potential for ambushes if information continues to be leaked.
